Admin Rodney Posted July 23, 2013 Admin Share Posted July 23, 2013 Chuck Williams and Aaron Blaise have launched a kickstarter to fund the initial creation of their current effort; a movie called "Art Story". But that isn't what I'm posting about here... Previously to this effort Williams and Blaise were working at the ill fated Digital Domain on several other story ideas. During that process they recorded a TEDx presentation about their creative process in creating their stories. hSIfGs-DGQ Some concepts covered: Starting out Spaghetti Pitches Inspiration Capturing Moments Evoking Emotion (Emotional Experiences) Research/Reference Connecting with Real Life Beat Boards Non Linear Creativity Characters Character Cards Backstory Actor Types Traits Plot Three Act Structure Principles of Storytelling/Structure Shaping through Comparisons (to other stories/movies) Constant exchange of ideas Stringing the Story together Theme (What you want to say... the most important part of the storytelling process) Making choices based on the Theme Illustrating the Beats Pitching the Ideas Incorporating Emotion/Acting Story Evolution Scripting Breaking Acts down into Scenes Storyboarding Emmersive Research Refinement/Replacement Re-Storyboarding Presentation Condensing Millions of ideas into moments of animated magic Those are some of the interesting things I took away from their presentation. Perhaps the most important take away is that creativity is a process we keep plugging away at every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
